Make a copy of the your current, erroneous script text, and store it somewhere for the time being. The goal is to make the map load correctly. So, either revert your map script to an earlier, working version, or just delete everything, and just put in an empty OnStart() method. Also, make sure that the game launches in //windowed mode//, so that you can edit the script while the game is running. | + | Debugging the error that cause the game to crash before it even starts is a pain; fortunately, you don't have to restart the game every time - there's an easier way to do it, assuming you've [[hpl2:amnesia:devenvguide|set up your development environment correctly]].

| - | However, if you use syntax highlighting capability that comes with code editors, you will probably be able to find this type of error more quickly. This is because, if syntax highlighting is enabled, string literals (the things written in double quotes, "like this") are displayed in a different color then the rest of the text; so if you forget a closing quote, there will be a piece of your code that will //look a bit wrong//. Your error will be there. Although this too might not be too easy to spot, it is easier then when you're looking at a uniformly black text. | + | However, if you use syntax highlighting capability that comes with code editors, you will probably be able to find the problem spot more quickly.
